must be an evaluation which shows that the students disability interferes with
his/her ability to learn the educational material that is taught to all students, and
there is evidence that the student requires special education services.
It is possible for a student to have a disability and not qualify for special
education services and an IEP because he/she does not need different instruction. If
a student is not eligible to receive an IEP, he/she may be eligible for a 504 Plan if he/
she needs accommodations or modifications in order to have an equal opportunity
to perform at the level of his/her peers. For more information about the eligibility
criteria for IEPs or 504 Plans, contact your childs school.
